But what exactly is multilateration? How will it aid in the transition to ADS-B? Can it offer backup capabilities to ADS-B in the long term? What are its benefits? What about certification? Most importantly, how can it benefit your organization?

Multilateration is a proven technology that has been in use for many decades. It was developed for military purposes to accurately locate aircraft — many of which did not wish to be “seen” — by using a method known as Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA).

Multilateration sounds like something you did in high school math, but have long since forgotten. But no, you didn’t, and no, you haven’t. Multilateration, or MLat, is the latest thing coming down the pike in air traffic control technology, and it’s picking up speed. ... Multilateration, or MLat,

Multilateration (MLAT) is the process of locating aircraft based on the time difference of arrival (TDOA) of its transponder signal to three or more strategically placed receiver stations.

Systems of equations are derived and computational routines are outlined that can be used to determine the geodetic coordinates and elevation of a point by three-dimensional multilateration using slope distances only.
